Half an hour until eight o'clock.

Sophie would like to re-emphasize the importance of the game.

A quarter of an hour until eight o'clock.

Even though Sophie didn't say anything, everyone couldn't sit still and began to warm up. Either raise their legs high on the spot or stretch their limbs, they make sure they're in the best shape when they come.

Sophie felt that it was impossible for Victor to come, so she called Qingfan to prepare together.

Qingfan covered his chest and exhaled a long breath to calm the beating of his heart. The rest of the people have all had the experience of playing sports, but she was different, she was exposed to these for the first time.

Although Sophie guided her individually during the weekend training, she didn't know how much she could do for the temporary cramming, so she was very nervous now.

Don't hold you back......

Qingfan secretly made up his mind.

"Don't be nervous. Just hit it as usual. A voice came over her head.

Qingfan looked back and saw that it was Andrea. She nodded lightly and smiled.

Five minutes until eight o'clock.

Sophie glanced at the time and clapped her hands.

"We can log in to the party system first."

She pulled out the black card of the Ex-ball's projection device, pressed the sensor point in the center of the card, and the dense silver circuit lit up, indicating that the device had been activated. Sophie brought up the system settings screen, entered the team function, and swiped her terminal at the bottom of the card. Her information immediately appeared in the team list.

The requirements for the configuration of the device in the online competition are not low, and for this audition, Sophie specially took a part-time salary to upgrade the card.

The others also swiped the terminal in turn, so that they were logged into the party system.

Carl seemed a little distracted and kept looking into the distance.

He wanted to wait a little longer for someone.

"Hey, little brother, I'm just up to you." Sophie reminded aloud.

"Oh." Carl woke up abruptly and absentmindedly swiped the terminal.

There was a little loss in his heart.

In the end, Victor did not show up.

Everything is ready, and the "Start Matching" button is still grayed out, but the countdown to the start of the match is marked in red letters next to the button.

Ten seconds to go.

The park, which was originally full of people, suddenly fell completely silent, and only the aerobics radio played by the old people who were exercising in the morning could be heard in the distance. Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide open, waiting for the final moment to come.

Five seconds to go.

The captains of all teams put their hands on the "Start Matchmaking" button.

Three. Two.

At that moment, the special effect of fireworks suddenly burst on the screen, and at the same time, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen as if it had surfaced, and then ghostly turned into gold dust and scattered.

Welcome to Extreme Battle!

There was a slight stirring of surprise from the crowd. Is this this year's Easter egg?

However, no one had time to think about it anymore, because, as the subtitles dissipated, the countdown also went to zero at this moment!

The moment the button lit up, thousands of fingers pressed it at the same time.

Not only in the second area, but countless data turned into invisible electromagnetic wave signals from all over the world, and they were transmitted to the terminal server of Ex-ball, and so many messages were received at the same time, and the server did not even collapse.

Tens of millions of pieces of information converge into a stream and turn into a sea of data.

People in all parts of the world have begun their own battles.

"Match successful." A mechanical female voice came out of the card.

At this point, the number of teams participating in matchmaking reached a peak, so the opponent was directly ranked in seconds.

At the same time, the settings screen flashed and was instantly put away, and the card rose high into the air. The cards cast strange lights as they quickly drew white lines on the ground, and the goal slowly generated from the bottom up on the baselines on both sides. A large screen appeared high in the air parallel to the halfway line, with a scoreboard and ball-bearing marker beacons, as well as lineup information for both teams, including each player's name, back number and position.

It's just that the data for both sides is not fully loaded yet, and the table of player information is still empty.

A red circle appeared out of thin air at the feet of the Seven of Godrise, flickering at their feet, and finally stopped. This is a mark used in place of the jersey to distinguish players from both sides.

Because the internal force field of the Ex-ball court is reconstructed, completely excluding the interference of external wind and light, it is not so important to choose half of the court, it is randomly arranged by the system itself, even if it is a standard field of four bars, the two sides will not exchange venues again in the second and second halves, and the content of the two halves is not exactly the same.

Apparently this time, the system randomly placed their team on the red side, which is the side with the red marker on the goal post.

The players of the Proqi team immediately stood in their starting positions. Beichen was in charge of the tee shot, so he stood in the middle circle close to the midpoint.

The site is built.

The force field is confirmed to be correct.

Start loading player data for both sides.

Seven blue marker circles appear on the ground in the blue half, and blue character models are generated in the circles. The flow of light flows over the character modeling, and the details of the opponent's projection become clearer and clearer. At first, it was only seven human figures, but now it is gradually able to see hair, facial features, and clothes.

Who will be the opponent in the first game? What kind of level will it be? It's a question they all want to know.

"Ahh Qingfan suddenly exclaimed.

Carl and Andrea also looked at each other in surprise.

Not to mention anything else, the person at the head, the handful of green hairs on his head, as long as he looks at it, will never be forgotten.

No way...... Is it such a coincidence?

Sophie looked up at the big screen in disbelief. At the moment when the opponent's image is generated, the lineup information of both sides is also presented on the screen.

Red: Team Rise.

Forwards: Beichen - No. 12, Andrea - No. 11;

Midfielders: Karl - No. 10, Qingfan - No. 22;

Defenders: Yi Lian - No. 4, Sophie - No. 6 (captain);

Goalkeeper: Ke Yuan - No. 1.

BLU: Yakshatras.

Forwards: Luthor - No. 12 (c), Falcon - No. 14, Cecil - No. 11;

Midfielder: Hongxin - No. 10;

Defenders: Cook - No. 5, Joyce - No. 3;

Goalkeeper: Rudolph - No. 1.

Isn't this the group of delinquent teenagers who were looking for them on the road before?

"What the hell, why are they?" Sophie lifts the forehead.

Yilian blinked her eyes and asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

"It's not so much an acquaintance, it's better to say that there is a grudge...... Sophie is weak.

The Yaksha also seem to have seen who their opponents are. Luther, who was standing at the forefront, saw that he was happy, and took two steps forward with a figure of eight, and the long voice of Hang'er Lang mocked: "Yo! It's a coincidence. Isn't this the team of 'Ann-Sister-'? You've got enough of them, huh? It's amazing. ”

Beichen asked Andrea expressionlessly: "Are you friends?" ”

"No, I don't know."

Andrea's face darkened. She clearly said that she never wanted to see this group of people again, but fate played tricks on people, this group of bad teenagers who killed Matt in the countryside are really ghostly!

Because of the existence of the Yaksha team, Andrea suddenly felt that the force of this MEC game was instantaneous, and the enthusiasm that had just burned with the team was instantly extinguished.

Everything is tasteless.

"Ann-sister——, why didn't you come with Victor that kid? Tsk tsk. I didn't expect that kid to be like this now. Luthor put his face in front of him, a look of smack.

"That's it." The tall henchman with the eyeliner drawn deep immediately chimed in. According to the lineup information, this person's name should be "Falcons".

This is the worst hack of a bird of prey like a falcon. Sophie complained secretly.

At that moment, Andrea strode forward, a powerful depression surrounding her. Andrea walked up to Luthor and suddenly jerked her leg up to his jaw with a high kick.

Luthor giggled, and didn't dodge.

The scene where such a nasty guy was supposed to be kicked out of the solar system did not appear, and Andrea's foot passed directly from Luther's character projection.

This kind of moulding is not a bug, but a protection measure given by the security system to the players in the online competition. After all, the virtual reality projection is too realistic, and the force of the limb collision will be fed back realistically, so the pain generated in this mode is no different from the real one.

Once the system thinks that this action is very dangerous, it will temporarily release the force field at the part of the force, which will also cause this phenomenon of molding.

Sure enough, the electronic referee blew the whistle and gave Andrea a moderate foul penalty.

Although the game has not yet started, since it has been standing on the court, it has been included in the monitoring scope of the referee, and any unsportsmanlike behavior will be punished.

Andrea's kick was judged to be a dangerous move, but only a moderate foul was awarded because it did not cause actual damage.

Electronic referees are rigid, but no matter what the reason, they will only follow the rules.

Andrea was completely speechless. She was confused for a moment, the virtual reality technology was so realistic that she forgot that her opponent's real body was not here.

She understood that Luthor and the others just expected that Andrea would not only not be able to beat them, but also might eat the brand because of this, which was why they were so presumptuous.

"The boss is strong!" The other members of the Yaksha team burst into laughter when they saw Andrei being punished. For them, it's too relieving to make Andrea deflated! They had been beaten very badly by Andrea and Victor before, and this time they could finally do the opposite.

"Forget it, forget it." Qingfan grabbed Andrea, for fear that she would do something out of the ordinary.

If you take another moderate foul warning, you will be forced to leave the game directly! And the game hasn't started yet!

Andrea was also obviously measured and would not act rashly, so she returned to her place without saying a word.

"Poor worm."

She whispered.
